Filter by:The hypothesis is that administration of Thrombosomes® (TBX®) as hemostatic support when terminating the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in patients undergoing emergency surgery for acute thoracic aortic dissection (aTAD) is safe and least as effective when compared to standard Platelet Concentrates (stPC).
To explore the effect and prognosis of endovascular interventional therapy in high-risk patients with aortic arch dissection and aneurysm
This is a retrospective study based on the data available in our hospital database for ATAAD patients from January 2020 to December 2021. These patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical procedures of aortic root. This study compared baseline data, perioperative and short-term follow-up results between the two groups to evaluate the efficacy and safety of XJ-procedure in ATAAD.
Aortic dissection (AD) is a clinical condition belonging to the broader spectrum of Acute Aortic Syndromes, with high morbidity and mortality and characterised by the sudden formation of a breach within the tonaca intima of the aortic wall, from which the so-called false lumen originates.The most common risk factor for AD is hypertension, present in more than 70% of. Imaging, biomarkers and genetic predisposition are critical in confirming a suspected diagnosis and in determining the appropriate intervention for each patient. Specific features influencing management decisions are the presence of rupture, extent of dissection, origin of true or false lumen vessels and signs of organ ischaemia.
This is an observational study that establishes a cohort of patients with high risk chest pain who have been identified by CTA for aortic dissection. We then used this cohort to validate the accuracy of identifying aortic dissection based on extremity oximetry and Doppler waveforms.
The purpose of this research is to compare sympathetic function (flight or fight system) and arterial health including structure and mechanics of participants with history of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) to age and sex matched control participants.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a branched type intraoperative stent system for the treatment of Stanford type A aortic dissection
Rationale: Aortic diameter is currently used as a gold standard in international guidelines for prediction of aorta pathology (aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection). However, aortic diameter has proven to be insufficiently accurate for making decisions about well-timed preventive interventions. The LANDMARC study will take place in line with the FIBAA-bank ('Correlatie tussen cardiovasculaire FIBroseringsgraad en Aorta elongatie, dilatatie en Atria dilatatie (FIBAA-bank): een biobank & databank onderzoek met focus op aorta en atria' (METC-number 2022-3164)), and aims to reveal the undiscovered relationship between WSS (wall shear stress) values and aortic strain. In combination with data from the FIBAA-bank, the LANDMARC study will provide more accurate information for future risk stratification models for cardiovascular pathology (with focus on aortic disease). Objectives: Primary objective: indication of the association between WSS (peak WSS and WSS gradient) (through 4D-flow MR and CT) and aortic strain. Secondary objective: indication of the association between (hemo)dynamic processes within the body (aortic elongation/aortic strain) and (patho-)physiological changes (degree of cardiovascular tissue fibrosis).
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the Thoraflex Hybrid device alone and in combination with the RelayPro NBS stent-graft in the treatment of aortic disease affecting the aortic arch and descending aorta with or without involvement of the ascending aorta. Patients who undergo treatment with the Thoraflex Hybrid device with or without extension with a RelayPro NBS stent-graft will be eligible for enrolment and study activities and follow-up regime will follow standard care at each participating site. Participant involvement in the study will last for a total of 10 years from the point at which the Thoraflex Hybrid device is placed.
The primary objective of this study is to test the safety and mental health benefits of a guided exercise program for people who survived an acute aortic dissection. This study is designed to answer several questions: 1. Can supervised exercise improve confidence and mental health in dissection survivors?; 2. How safe are different types of exercise for people who are living with severe aortic disease?; 3. Can tests be developed to determine rational and safe limits to guide exercise recommendations for individual patients?; 4. Does the blood pressure response to exercise predict risks for aortic enlargement or dissection in unique ways that other tests may not detect? The long-term goal of this research is to develop new guidelines for exercise and daily activities that promote the safety and well-being of all TAD patients. All participants will be required to: - Complete online questionnaires (demographic survey, 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 29 (PROMIS-29) v2.0 profile questionnaire) - Exercise (>150 minutes/week) - Receive all usual clinically indicated care, including diagnostic tests and medications. Recommendations for tests or interventions will not change based on the assigned study arm. Participants who are randomized to guided exercise group will undergo initial training that consists of: one video demonstration, one exercise training session or group session, one follow up home visit, and virtual check-ins. Participants who are randomized to usual care will attend routine clinic visits but will not receive any teaching or supervision and will not participate in any in-person or virtual exercise sessions. Instead, they will receive standardized counseling about exercise, including an exercise pamphlet that is given to all TAD patients.
